Nasarawa LP chair seeks unity ahead of 2027 elections

In Nasarawa State, the Labour Party Chairman, Alexander Ombugu, has taken a proactive stance to foster unity within the party as the crucial 2027 general elections loom. Speaking at a press briefing in the state capital, Lafia, Ombugu stressed the imperative for collective efforts to resolve internal disputes, signaling a commitment to strengthening the party's foundation.

“

So, I feel that it is important for me to extend my hands of fellowship to all LP members and supporters in the state who may be aggrieved for one reason or the other.

Ombugu used the opportunity to unequivocally dismiss rumors of his suspension, branding them as baseless fabrications by party adversaries. He extended a sincere hand of fellowship to all camps within the Nasarawa LP, recognizing that persistent disagreements could jeopardize the party's prospects in both the forthcoming primaries and the main electoral contest in 2027. His message was clear: unity is paramount for electoral success.

“

As Chairman of the party, I am ready to discuss extensively with any leader, stakeholder or group in the party to enable us resolve all outstanding issues before the 2027 political activities will fully commence.

As the state chairman, recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Ombugu asserted his responsibility, alongside other executives, to unite the party. He highlighted that the ward, local government, and state congresses conducted in December 2025 were peaceful and monitored by INEC and security agencies, underscoring the legitimacy of the party's current structure. Despite acknowledging ongoing legal disputes at the national level, Ombugu expressed optimism that the Nasarawa LP would emerge stronger and achieve victory in 2027.

Age is not an indication of performance; it is just a number.
